Public Notice

Region 5 - The Department of Environmental Conservation has determined that the Registry of Inactive Hazardous Waste Disposal Sites in New York State needs to be amended to delete Site #516002, known as the Old Ticonderoga Landfill Site. This site is located in the Town of Ticonderoga in the County of Essex and is located at Lower Lead Hill Road. The reason for deletion is:

Due to the very high levels of PCB contamination at the surface of the site and unrestricted access, the site posed a threat to anyone entering the site via potential exposure through direct contact with contaminated soil. During an Interim Remedial Measure (IRM) in the fall of 1995, 857 tons of hazardous soil containing PCB’s (greater than 50 ppm) with concentrations as high as 128,000 ppm were shipped to an off-site permitted facility for disposal. Nine hundred tons of non-hazardous soil containing PCB’s (less than 50 ppm) was also shipped off-site to a permitted (non-hazardous) facility. Several PCB contaminated electrical transformers were drummed and disposed off-site. Numerous electrical transformers that were determined to be uncontaminated remain on-site along with scattered debris. The remedial investigation found no PCBs in the groundwater. A lockable site access fence and gate were installed during the IRM. The remedial construction was completed in the fall of 1995. No further monitoring or maintenance is required.

Written comments on this proposed deletion are welcome, and should be sent to:
